After hearing about this book and seeing it on other people's reading lists, I finally decided I needed to read it. It came in this morning and read it in it's entirety. I couldn't put it down once I started.
The story of the Alchemist is about following your heart and finding your passion in life. The author calls it your Personal Legend. We all know inherently what our personal legend is, but throughout our life, we stop listening to that calling because people tell us it is impossible or hard. So we begin to ignore our calling and instead err on the side of safety and security. It takes courage to follow your calling. The book goes on to talk about all the difficulties you will encounter along the way to reaching your goals and dreams.
I highly recommend you read this book for yourself and listen to what your heart is calling you to do. I can look back on the many experiences of my life and see how my path has carried me to a place where I can continue to follow a path that will fulfill my personal legend. I have also encountered some of the troubles and setbacks.
Moral of the story, read the book. I continue to see the importance of what I am doing and the things I am learning along the way. I want to give people systems methods to achieve their goals and dreams.
Thanks for joining me on this journey and I hope I can be a part of your dreams and journey.
